Vox Quick Hits: The bite-sized daily podcast playlist

Vox Quick Hits is a playlist of podcasts on news, science, politics, pop culture, and more — each 15 minutes or less.

Welcome to Vox Quick Hits, a playlist of bite-sized podcasts. Here, we go wherever our curiosities — and yours — take us.

Several new episodes drop in the feed throughout the day, Monday to Friday. And in 15 minutes or less, we dive deep into topics in news, politics, science, pop culture, and beyond. We answer your questions. We even pair you with the perfect book or binge-watch.

The weekly lineup varies, but you’ll hear all of these shows in the Vox Quick Hits feed:

Six brand new series, available only on Vox Quick Hits

In Ask a Book Critic, book critic Constance Grady gives recommendations to suit your very specific mood: either how you’re feeling right now, or how you’d like to be feeling instead.

The Best Money I Ever Spent brings The Goods’ longstanding essay series to life with true tales of people’s most meaningful purchases.

Tell Me More takes a deeper look at the big political news and conversations of the moment with the people who report them, hosted by reporter Emily Stewart.

What’s the Story digs into the narratives behind the news and trends in popular culture with host internet culture reporter Rebecca Jennings, with help from Vox’s best reporters.

One Good Answer understands there’s nothing better than a good, solid answer. Join Vox’s Meredith Haggerty in her pursuit of satisfying answers to relevant, confounding, and just plain fascinating questions.

Deciding What to Watch can be a challenge. Ditch the recommendation algorithms and let movie critic Alissa Wilkinson and critic at large Emily VanDerWerff be your guide to the movies and shows that are worth your time.
